First and Fifth Amendment Rights

[Woodsman]

In Canada,when a cop asks you to identify yourself,we're legally bound to provide our name,address and date of birth. Canadians are NOT obligated to answer any other questions.

Can you provide an example of the law that requires this other than when found committing a offense under numerous Provincial Acts or Federal Codes.
Which law requires any one to identify themselves to an officer unless they are found committing a offense?
Without a offense being committed these are just fishing expositions.

Nope. I'm sure you can do your own research. There's a few lawyers that have their own websites which answer fundamental questions.
If in doubt,ask a Police Constable. They'll be glad to explain it to you. Generally,if they're investigating an incident and think you may be a person of interest,they're legally entitled to ask any questions they deem appropriate and if you act like a dick,you're going to the bucket until you smarten up. It never,ever pays to be a dick.

Unless your Trump!

Or a few certain Liberals on forums, that happen to be in/support the opposite special interest group.

Gord, you and I know. That's enough for me. However it wasn't about you but thanks for coming out.

Here is an Richardhead example of a Lefty Canadian PS worker and by the looks of him in a very very special interest group and one of his posts about Ft. Mac.

Nope. Been there twice, once when participating in a legal picket outside a local business that ripped off a friend, and the influential business owner called the police, and once while enjoying a beverage on a patio bar when an officer decided to shake down the Harley rider. I was asked for ID in both cases and politely refused. In the case of the protest, the officer told those of us involved (very young adults) that we could not block entrances or driveways, and asked for our IDs. When one participant began to provide same I interjected and informed him that he was not legally obliged to. The officer was a bit vexed but agreed that I was correct. In the case of the patio bar episode, the officer said "no sweat, I'll just call in your plate", so I showed him my license to save him the effort. But I was not obliged to, and he recognized that.

Nope. Pretty petty little creep, public service worker, teacher if I remember correctly.
